Looking for eyes... Posted by gav on Jan 21, 2009
I have a new puppet i'm m making and need eyes that look like this.   http://www.taobao.com/view_image.php?pic=Wx0GGlFDXA1VUwMBWx0SCwkNGRFcVxxQW1UcCxMFRBkDCFdVV1cRRhpXRDhHOg9hamtsancxKghaGQMOYBpZQhI=&title=RVQwNdHb1unVucq+0fk=&pCodeZmIzZDZhM2RlMGY3ODU2NTAwYzdkMDM1NDMxZGU1NzA=&version=2&itemId=65028c316cfc3ddfe7106a7fddb3ff62&shopId=33335246&sellerRate=1602&fv=undefined&dbId=db2

The ones I found are about twenty one bucks.  That's a little more then I want to spend on a pair of eyes for this puppet unless I have to.  Anyone know any good site that sells good eyes.

I would say they just look like plastic doll eyes with posts, Billy has those.

Otherwise, try these guys, they have REAL looking eyes. Scary real.

that site is awesome! The prices aren't bad ether. None of those look like the ones I need.  I know there are simple red eyes out there.  I need ones that look more real but with the demonic look.  Thanks for the link sonny i'm sure i'll use them for another puppet.

I'm not sure what size you need but basic red or amber animal eyes will do. Placement and how you accent the eyes will make them a bit more evil. Glazing them with clear finger nail polish will make them real glassy. Here is a good place to get eyes.

Why don't you write the company that Sonny provided and ask them to paint human eye's in a red colour.....they say that they hand paint all the eyes on premises.  It might cost a little more for a special order.....I am sure you are the not the first person to ask/get red human eyes from them.  Just a thought....never hurts to ask?

I did a search for red dOll eyes and fond this site.  Enchanted Doll Eyes

If you scroll down you find that they have several colors of eyes.  One is very red.

It looks like this is the actual website link for the eyes that Jon linked to: http://e-d.co.kr/  They are pretty pricey ranging from $35 to $65.   
Re: Looking for eyes... Posted by gav on Jan 23, 2009
Yeah I saw those to and they where a little pricey.  The one's I linked where  about 20 bucks.  I think i'm going to have to come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for. The puppet i'm working on is really coming out good.   So I may just buy the ones I linked the pick from.  Since this hasn't been as easy as I thought to find others on the same level as the ones I found on ebay.
